java.net.Socket(SocketImpl) does not throw any Exception for null parameter

The java.net.Socket(SocketImpl impl) does not throw any Exception for
null parameter.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-------------------------------- Test.java -----------------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

class NewSocket extends Socket
{
   public NewSocket(SocketImpl impl) throws SocketException
   {
super(impl);
   }
}



class test
{

  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    NewSocket soc = null;
    int port = 0;
    
     
    try {
      soc = new NewSocket((SocketImpl)null);
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("OKAY");
      System.exit(-1);
    }

    try {
      port = soc.getPort();
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
      System.out.println("Failed. Unexpected exception:" +e );
      System.exit(-1);
    }


    System.out.println("OKAY");
    
  }
}

---------------------- Output from the test -----------------
Failed. Unexpected exception:java.lang.NullPointerException
-----------------------------------------------------------------
